what kind of power supply do you have?

i was wondering what kind of power supply everyone has? please post here, and recommend me a good one. i am having a horrible +12v line drop, im guessing because of my compressor in my VC, and i am not able to overclock this chip at all. here's a screenie and thanks for the help.

Enermax, Antec and Sparkle are all good makes of PSU.

I get a solid 12v line of 12.48, with an enermax 430w.

jdmcnudgent - Your voltages don't look bad. The low 12 volt line means your PSU is just cruising. It will go up when you load the CPU. Now if you PSU can't deliver the current needed for an overclock, that's a different story.

As far as PSUs go, the Cadillac is the PC Power & Cooling line but there is nothing wrong with an Antec or Sparkle. I have had bad luck with Enermax though. If you want to spend the bucks, my PC P & C 450 ATX is in the Classified section.

hmmm, let me see. I have a Dell 200w, AOpen 250w, Deer 300w, Sparkle 300w and an Antec 400w. All of them seem to work fine to me.
